Chapter 1296
There were mostly common snacks that were arranged neatly in a certain pattern. The handmade candies were
intricately constructed as well.
At home, his wife used to love making candy for the kids, but she got a lot busier after returning to the workforce.
In addition to taking care of the three kids, she also had to look after Madam Carter, hence there was simply no
time to make candy.
It was the little things that could warm one’s heart, especially how it was presented. He was not interested in snacks
but would indulge in some whenever Sylvia put a box or a bowl by his side.
His eyes flickered and he instinctively picked a piece of dried berry.
Shermaine grinned widely when she saw Odell eat the snack she prepared.
Two days later, on a Sunday, Sylvia brought the kids out earlier in the morning and spent the whole day at a theme

Sylvia carried Flint in her arms and sat in the rear seat with Isabel and Liam on the way back. Soon after they
boarded the car, Isabel fell asleep on Liam’s shoulder, and Liam was slumped on his mother’s shoulder.” Sylvia
could only doze off for a few minutes since she was carrying Flint.
The boy clung her arms around his mother’s neck and stuck his cheek on her chest. His eyes were staring outside
the window blankly, seemingly having a plethora of thoughts running through his mind. Sylvia stroked his face and
asked softly, “Flint, what are you thinking about?”
Flint pouted and answered meekly, “I miss Daddy.”
Sylvia was surprised by the answer.
It was then that Liam woke up and looked up at her, followed by Isabel.
Isabel grumbled, “Why are you missing that stupid Daddy? Come to me.”
The little girl snatched Flint from her mother’s arm and started playing with her little brother. The duo loved to play
tickles as always, and the car was soon filled with Flint’s chuckles. The siblings got so carried away that they did not
notice Flint’s leg was right in front of Liam’s face.
Liam pouted helplessly and clutched onto his brother’s ankle to stop him from moving.
Things got rather cheerful and lively in the car.
Sylvia watched the kids play happily, but her chest tightened whenever she thought about Odell. It had been two
days since Odell went on a business trip. Other than the text that she received that night when he arrived at
Hemingway, she had never gotten a call from him. He must be ridiculously busy, and she started to wonder if he
even ate or slept on time.
A while later, the car stopped outside the Carters’ residence.
Isabel held Flint’s hand and ran inside the house like horses released into the wild, calling Madam Carter and Aunt
Tonya’s names cheerfully.

When Sylvia and Liam entered the living room, they saw Flint babbling adorably in Madam Carter’s lap while Isabel
was boasting her new toy that she won from the theme park to Aunt Tonya.
Madam Carter and Aunt Tonya were both amused. Sylvia smiled and brought Liam over to them.
After some chit-chat, dinner was served.
The kids then went upstairs to their game room. The game room was spacious and built specifically for the three of
them. Other than all kinds of toys, there were also new video games installed. Sylvia went to Madam Carter’s room
to check on her
before she headed up to the game room to join the kids.
Liam, Isabel, and Flint sat in a line. Liam was meddling with a remote control toy while Isabel was teaching Flint to
play some other games.
